[AFMUG] Brown-outs, Power fluctuations lock up Mikrotik CRS units

2017-08-23 Thread Sterling Jacobson
I get power glitches from time to time in our city and it never fails to cause one or more of our CRS units to glitch. They appear powered and running, but SFP+ modules don't communicate until a power cycle. Anyone else see this? And generally, I don't understand how variations in 110v AC get

we have an sfp issue like that, i only have 1 of the PS powered, i wondered if that was part of the issue. we also have an APC source switch that the primary has a flaky battery so it would switch sources. Now you have me wondering if when it swaps if theres a fluctuation On Wed, Aug 23, 2017 at 1

Power fluctuations cause ground connections to bounce too. If you have grounding and bonding issues, that might explain it. -Original Message- From: Sterling Jacobson Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2017 11:39 AM To: 'af@afmug.com' Subject: [AFMUG] Brown-outs, Power fluctuatio

If the voltage is dipping low enough, the power supply may not be able to provide enough current to provide the necessary power at that low a voltage, resulting in a brief power deficiency.

Battery backup is your friend. Even if the batteries are small, a simple DC UPS will filter out almost all AC problems you can imagine. If the site is important to you, you should have battery backup anyway. bp On 8/23/2017 10:39 AM, Sterling Jacobson wrote: I get power glitches from time t

I'd be curious if disable/enable the interface brings the SFP back to life, or re-inserting the SFP module. -- Original Message -- From: "Adam Moffett" To: af@afmug.com Sent: 8/23/2017 2:24:44 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Brown-outs, Power fluctuations lock up Mikrotik CR
